<p class="has-drop-cap">BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) reported a robust performance for the <a aria-label="first quarter of 2024 (opens in a new tab)" href="https://s24.q4cdn.com/856567660/files/doc_financials/2024/Q1/BLK-1Q24-Earnings-Release.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">first quarter of 2024</a>, showcasing significant growth across key financial metrics. <br><br>The company announced diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $10.48, a 37% increase from the previous year, and <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">adjusted EPS</a> of $9.81. Total revenue for the quarter rose by 11% year-over-year to approximately $4.73 billion, driven by higher asset management and performance fees and an expansion in technology services revenue.</p> 
<p>Asset under management (AUM) reached a record $10.5 trillion, up by $1.4 trillion from the prior year, reflecting strong market performance and sustained organic growth. <br><br>BlackRock also reported $76 billion in long-term net inflows, highlighting the continued appeal of its diverse asset management offerings. The growth in AUM and inflows was supported by positive developments across all geographical regions and client types, particularly in the Americas and through ETFs.</p> 
<h3 id="blackrock-beats-eps-and-revenue-expectations-in-q1">BlackRock Beats EPS and Revenue Expectations in Q1</h3> 
<p>BlackRock’s financial results for the quarter exceeded expectations on several fronts. Analysts had forecasted an EPS of $9.34 and revenue of $4.64 billion for the quarter. <br><br>The actual EPS of $9.81 as adjusted and $10.48 on a reported basis, alongside revenue of $4.73 billion, surpassed these projections, underlining BlackRock’s ability to outperform amid challenging market conditions. This outperformance can be attributed to substantial growth in technology services and a significant increase in performance fees, which rose by $149 million from the previous year.</p> 
<p>Moreover, the firm’s total net inflows of $57 billion, although lower than last year’s $110 billion, demonstrate robust client activity and trust in BlackRock’s platform. The inflows were broadly distributed across the firm’s product lines, including a standout performance in ETFs, which attracted $67 billion, predominantly in core equity and strategic products.</p>

<h3 id="forward-looking-guidance">Forward-Looking Guidance</h3> 
<p>BlackRock remains optimistic about its growth trajectory and market position for future quarters. The firm’s guidance emphasizes the potential for increased inflows in light of a strong pipeline of client commitments and ongoing innovations in financial technology and asset management services. Management highlighted significant opportunities in infrastructure, technology services, and whole portfolio solutions, which are expected to drive long-term growth.</p> 
<p>BlackRock is also progressing with strategic acquisitions, such as the planned purchase of Global Infrastructure Partners, which is anticipated to enhance its offering in alternative investment solutions further. The company expects this acquisition to contribute to AUM’s growth and diversification while providing new revenue-generation avenues through performance fees and expanded client services.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
